Description
View of Wilfred Thesiger's travelling party resting in sand dunes during their journey from the Ramlat Unayq, north of Al Ain/Buraimi oasis, to Jabal Sumeini. On the left a member of Wilfred Thesiger's travelling party sits in sand criss-crossed with footprints next to a large pile of gear. At the centre two men stand on the lee side of the low dune. A second pile of equipment sits in the sand on the left, next to a large bush. In the distance beyond rolling sand dunes lead to a far rocky mountain topped by jagged rocky peaks.
